1. In class we discussed that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex quadrilateral is 360o.” Using Geometer’s Sketchpad, determine whether this is true for a concave quadrilateral. Please display all appropriate angle measures and sums. 2. Another theorem that we stated in class said ”The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of any convex polygon, one angle at each vertex, is 360o.” Using Geometer’s Sketchpad, determine whether this is true for a concave quadrilateral. Please display all appropriate angle measures and sums.
3. In the diagram at the right, all the vertices of quadrilateral
ABCD lie on a circle (we say that quadrilateral ABCD is , inscribed in the circle.). a. Construct the diagram using Geometer’s Sketchpad. b. Make a conjecture about how the measures of angle
and angle BCD are related. c. Drag one or more of the quadrilateral’s vertices and verify your conjecture (or form a new conjecture if your first conjecture turns out to be incorrect).

An additional method for proving triangles congruent
AAS
The three congruence postulates we have are SSS, SAS, and ASA.
The Isosceles Triangle Theorem (Base Angles Theorem)
If a triangle has two congruent sides, the angles opposite those sides are congruent.
The converse is also true: If a triangle has two congruent angles, the sides opposite those angles are congruent.
